A Norfolk Squad team visited East Hanningfield for a friendly against Essex “B”. The match proved to be rather one-sided as the Norfolk team romped to a 36-4 away win despite playing on tricky mats which should have given the home side some advantage. Norfolk took all ten points in the singles with Bob Oatway winning by 12-9 & 15-10 and Terry Newby winning 20-9 & 12-8. Maximum points were also earned in the fours as Jill Hayman, Janet Pinchen, Trevor Pinchen & David Blundell won 15-3 & 11-9 and Elaine Oatway, Jenny Walker, Trish Taylor & Colin Coman won 11-7 & 13-10. The pairs earned eight points out of ten with Teresa & Selwyn Goldsmith winning 22-3 & 15-12 while Angela Bond & Steve Easter added a 13-10 win. The triples did likewise with Billie Barker, Steve Easter & Melvyn Barker winning their first game 13-5 and then with Angela Bond playing in place of Easter won their second game 24-11. Joan Costello, Graham Tweed & John Jarvis added an 11-9 win. Before the match Jill Hayman of Harling was awarded her Norfolk County Team Plaque for representing Norfolk three times in the Norfolk County team by Norfolk CSMBA Chairman/County Manager Selwyn Goldsmith.
